Home Care Cost Reporting Training Sessions Ending Soon

The Department of Health (DOH) has scheduled Home Care Cost Reporting trainings for all Certified Home Health Agencies (CHHAs), Licensed Home Care Services Agencies (LHCSAs), and Fiscal Intermediaries (FIs). As previously reported, DOH recently finalized the new Home Care Cost Reporting process as required by the 2018-19 State Budget. The consolidated report will apply to all entities and will require variations in reporting based upon the services offered. This report will replace the Personal Care Provider Cost Report and the non-hospital-based CHHA Cost Report and will apply to providers statewide. Audits of the submitted forms will be carried out by KPMG; thus, the forms will no longer need to be certified by a CPA prior to submission.

The sessions are free-of-charge, in-person, and critical for agency staff responsible for filling out the reports. Sessions are appropriate for all three provider types and are identical to one another. Note that attendees should bring the handouts sent prior to the training. Registration should occur at least three days prior to training. Questions on cost report matters may be submitted to Homecare.reports@health.ny.gov.

Please know that DOH will likely provide some issue-specific support on this requirement via webinar, but they encourage all staff handling the cost report to attend an in-person introductory session.
